Special
Extended Offer: We have recently
obtained through
a new publisher, both three(3) volume and four(4) volume sets in
Hardback
and a larger format of the Boy Mechanic series. The volumes contain
hundreds of things a boy or girl can build. We
offered
the set originally in December of 2001 as a three volume set, and the
response
was tremendous, so we are continuing.... I remember our school
library
had the Boy Mechanic books and you could hardly ever find them on the
shelf.
The copies were dog-earred from years of constant use. Even today with
TV and other distractions, kids (and adults) will spend hours with
these
books studying them from cover to cover. This is a timeless gift for
your
favorite kids (or young at heart adult). There were many updates and
reprints
of the Boy Mechanic series, originally published by Popular Mechanics,
but these are reprints of the original 1913, 1915, 1918, and now 1924.
The new hardback three(3) volume set is $79.00 including
free shipping in the US. The four (4) volume set in
hardback
is specially priced at $99.00 including free
shipping
in the US.
